One of your most inspiring experiences in your career to date?At the Athens Para Olympics, for a para pupil of mine to receive two silver medals. It was literally us against the world’s best and we came out of nowhere. For the Beijing Olympics I managed to present a full South African Para Olympic team. The first equestrian team ever to represent South Africa and so far the only one. We won two gold medals. I have to say though, that I get as nervous presenting a novice rider into a local ring.

Who is your favourite South African clothing or home ware designer?The first time I ever ate at Societi Bistro I saw my friend Jenny Ler Roux’s name on the menu and was mega impressed… so baby just look at me now!! Naturally Habits is my clothing shop of choice.
